In the 9th century, Arab writers usually called one of the equal factors of a number jadhr (“root”), and their medieval European translator used the Latin word radix (from which derives the adjective radical). Radix is the Latin for root, and radical is the name of the square root symbol.

It is called a square root because you are having to find a number that is multiplied by itself to get the number that is intended. Let's you have to find the square root of 16. It would of course be 4 because 4*4 is 16. So in this case it could also be written as 4 to the second power. Hope this helped. :)

The world's smallest plane has a length of 12 feet and the world's longest plane has a length of 302 feet. Write an absolute val
iren [92.7K]

An absolute value equation which could represent the length of a plane is : 12 feets ≥ x ≤ 302 feets

Smallest length of a plane = 12 feets

Longest length of a plane = 302 feets

This means that the minimum length of a plane cannot be below 12 feets and the maximum length of a plane cannot be above 302 feets

Using x as the length of a plane :

To represent as an absolute value ; we use inequality :

Minimum length ≥ x ≤ maximum length

12 feets ≥ x ≤ 302 feets .
